Your reasons for jumping into a Lancair are exactly the same as mine five years
ago, although I had 200 hours at the time (Even that was considered low).  I
would not discourage you from getting into a Lancair at this point, but be
prepared to spend many more hours with an instructor before you feel
comfortable.  Everyone adapts and absorbs differently.  As an experiment, you
could go rent larger complex plane for a couple of hours just to see how quickly
you can handle the extra workload.
    "4 - Being forced to develop more precise flying skills"
I did all my instrument training in my Lancair for this very reason.  When I had
to fly a rental IFR everything happened in slow motion and was much easier.
Make sure your instructor gets a good checkout and don't be in a rush to fly
solo.  
Good luck!
